RyanAir ID

[candyy]

Hiya, we're flying from Glasgow to Cork and back in May with DS on Ryanair. Does anyone know whether we need to get a passport for an 11 month old baby?

I have only ever flown Brounemouth to Prestwick with Ryanair but never needed ID for the kids when we flew

Thanks, grrrr what nonsense from Ryanair needing a baby passport!

From the Ryanair FAQs

"Photo-ID for children under 16 years is not required for:

Children travelling with an adult between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland or domestic flights within either the United Kingdom or Ireland"

The adult will still need photo ID though which can be a passport of a driving licence.

Thanks ladymuck, i saw that on the web site, but i just don't trust ryanair's info having seen too many of these 'airline' tv shows where they never seem to let passengers board planes.

I think that Ryanair staff are all very familiar with the regs between UK and Ireland, and this question has been asked quite a lot due the recent 1p seat sale. That said as my dcs have passports I always take them anyway as then you can do the online checkin (I think that Ryanair now charge you to checkin at the airport).

I would get a passport just incase

MF Bournemouth and Prestwick aren't in the same country if you are Scottish but I was think of the same lines with Cork.

I also didn't need a passport when I flew to Dublin

He doesn't need a passport but you must use his birth certificate as proof of ID.

Proof of age may be required so please have the infant's valid photo-ID available for inspection (or birth certificate if traveling on a route that does not require valid photo-ID i.e. Ireland-UK Ireland, UK domestic or Italian domestic flights).

This is under the children and infants section on the terms and conditions - applies to infants between 8 days and 2 years old. (can't travel before 8 days old!)
